There’s always something new and exciting around the corner, which is the fun part of the Japanese makeup world. Japanese drugstores are full of some exciting products, sometimes they are a hit or miss, but the following products are tested and popular with Japanese women. Here are 5 of the cutest, and strangest Japanese beauty trends we could find.
5. Choosy Lip Packs![Choosy Japanese Lip Packs]()
You probably guessed it right, this product is similar to a lip mask and promises to leave your lips moisturized and plumped. When you first take it out of the package, you realize that the texture is unlike any other mask you have used, it is like a sticky jelly. After leaving it on your lips for five to ten minutes, we recommend you massage the remaining ointment into your skin.
This lip pack works well and leaves your lips hydrated for days, but it does look quite strange. What would your reaction be like if your friend opened the door with one of these on? We recommend that you give it a go either to scare your friends or to achieve those luxurious kissable lips that everyone wants. Take a look at CetresChic’s Choosy Lip review down below:
